I think that gaming consoles like the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 are fun, creative ways for expression. They let us be ourselves and enjoy life through the merciless killing of zombies.
What are examples of things that are well designed?I think that the rotating tower in dubai is a good design because it rotates and it basically like a clock because it rotates a little as every hour passes.- Nicole (sorry didn't know where to put it)
I think that the Willis Tower, formerly known as the sears tower, is a good design because it is a very tall skyscraper and is very famous around the world. It was built in 1973, and it is still standing! - Ali Shirazi
I think the particle accelerator is of good design because it can help us go back in time to the start of the universe.
Post your design example below with a one-line caption answering. “What makes this good design to you?” I think that the design of the packet is good design because of the versatility of the invention and it is more portable. -Sierra
I believe astronaut pants are designed impeccably because they are handy(8 pockets), comfortable and they have knee pads built in to keep your legs safe.
- Puja
This is the MahaNakhon building in Thailand. I think that it is good design because it creatively breaks up a typical city skyline by making it appear pixelated. -Michael Y
A bridge gets people to places they might not reach otherwise or it might take longer to do without a bridge. - Shyre
This is a small device which is packed with subroutines and it helps you with day to day functions such as navigation, calling etc. Some people cannot survive without it. If they were stranded without their phone... good luck. And its light weight and slenderness lets you fit it in to your pocket with ease. It is your mini butler (reference to android ad). - Ali Naqvi ...an amazing picture of 1 World Trade Center. This will be one of seven new WTC skyscrapers when completed next year. Only one of the seven buildings is complete (the building to the right of this one). I think this is a cool design because it literally brightens up the Lower Manhattan skyline like a lighthouse, and it looks like it is see-through! ~Ross T.
No manmade creation is better than this. The universe is the greatest masterwork in existence.
-Tomas
Mankind itself is designed very well because its functions help create all well designed man made things. It very amazing to think about all that mankind has created. ~ Sheeba Mathew
The Titanic was expertly designed. Big. Safe (other than the iceberg - which wasn't due to designing but to the steering), and Luxurious. There wer multiple backup plans in case the worst happened. It just turned out that the worst was worse than they expected. -Danni Hertel
I think a Shoe is a good design because it let's us move fast without burning or hurting our feet Westley Sturhan
Post its!! :)
I think that post its are very good designs because they are very simple and efficient. Instead of having to write yourself a note and then taping it somewhere, you can just use a post-it. :)

i think the toilet is the best EVER invention idea thing because then without it we would use holes in the ground. asian style. haha no. i think this wall usb thing is SO cool because i hate looking for my wall to usb charger to charge my ipod when i dont have a laptop to plug it into and its so cool and innovative and i wish i chould get one but then i might shock myself if the electric guy doesnt do ti right but its cool and i have a BUNCH other things to add that ive seen but idk if mr sebek will let me cuz there are like 40 thingys xD but yeh. the toilet is mah numbah 2 but this wall thingy. genius.

The computer keyboard is one of the most revolutionary inventions that we take for granted every day of our lives. Without it, we wouldn't be able to express ourselves like this over technology. The placement of the letters, numbers, and symbol is ingenious, and all of us know the importance of typing especially in Middle School. In conclusion, the keyboard is one of the most important inventions in our lives, with an ingenious design, and a universal purpose. ~Varun
Pillow pets are wonderful creations for kids because its the comfort of having a stuffed animal and a pillow in the same product! -Shreya
I think the cup or the mug is a good design because if we didn't have cups, we would still be drinking out of gourds or out of milk cartons which is gross. Now we can hold our water in a place where it won't fall out, which is more convenient and makes life easier. ~Eisha
-I think the camera is a great design because if you really think about it, the camera is a piece of technology the captures a moment of time! Which just seems so unrealistic...but it is true...and you can zoom alter the color and do so many things with a moment in time.
-ROMA SHAH
I think that the mechanical pencil may be a simple design, but also a great one. It helps save trees, saves the user from spending more on packs of pencils, and they are convenient because you don't have to sharpen, but simply press a button to continue writing. Some mechanical pencils, like this one, have innovated the design even more by having a grip for comfort, a better place to press for lead, and a longer-lasting eraser that can be replaced. This shows that even the smallest of things can be made better. -Alice Harvey

I think the new iPod Touch is an example of good design because of the way it is created. Firstly, they made the colors pretty to make it pleasing to the eye. It is more appealing this way. Secondly, it is not too big so it can be held in one hand. It is a portable way of listening to music, much more innovative then the boring old MP3 players. It. Is. Awesome. ~Shruti :)
I think that Tide to Go is an example of good design as it helps consumers relive themselves of stains when outside of the house. -- Varsha Mullangi
I think the definition of a good design is something that has truely helped the human race progress and advance. An example of a good design would be the telescope and the microscope. The microscope and the telescope have proved to be one of the most resouceful and useful inventions to mankind. With these instuments we are able to expand our our knowledge. We are able to see beneath the very shallow surface of our daily lives and learn about the wonders of this world and beyond. The microscope has enabled us to see micro organisms,cells, and other things that we couldnt have possibly seen and learned about with the naked eye. The telescope has gave us the power to see beyond the limits of our solar system and understand the vastness of the universe and galaxy in ehich we reside in. These instruments have gaven human kind the abi;lity to lear about hing from the cells in your body to the stars and galaxies located far from our solar system. ---Radhika Patel--
Hey! My good idea was the delicious and one and only, (get ready for it..), SMORES!!! Smores are an amazing food to taste! If you haven't tried one, you're missing out. it's a melted marshmallow with melted chocolate and two crackers. Once you get that first bite into your mouth... your in love! <3. A melted Marshmallow is a gooey sticky substance that makes you want more, and melted chocolate is a sugary, hot, gooey , substance, and when they're mixed together... IT'S A MASTERPIECE! I just want to say... SMORES ARE AWESOME!!!
I think the Burj Khalifa is a good design because of its impact on the Dubai Skyline also the fact that it is the tallest building in the world and still stand regardless of weather etc.
I think that the Mars Rover is an awesome design because it has all these features. Once, when I was watching a video on the Mars Rover "Spirit" they said that its cameras were 5 million dollars! It also has a brain of its own because when it is getting off of the landing gear it has to use its cameras and other devices to see what is there and then make a decision of its own. It is AWESOME!

I think the Kindle is an example of good design. It innovated the way we read books. If you have just a stack of books, it can get messy and it takes up a lot of space. With the Kindle all your books are organized and it doesn't up a lot of space. I still like good old books but this is just an easier way to enjoy them. -Delphi:)
I think that the microphone is a great design because it helps a lot of people. Many people (like me) have a small voice and the microphone helps us talk to a big crowd. It is a very handy design, and the cordless type lets people to act on the stage without having to yell.
-Aaron
The human body is the bet design of all because of how it was so perfectly made. It is truly beautiful and amazing. Without this NONE OF THE ABOVE WOULD BE HERE. Human body= Creator of all! -Omeed (My post was deleted before)
